Antenna apparatus for folder type mobile phone

Abstract

An antenna apparatus for a folder type mobile phone, wherein a first antenna is installed in a main body of the folder type mobile phone, and a second antenna is installed in the folder. The folder type mobile phone installs a main antenna apparatus in the main body, and an antenna apparatus for maximizing the diversity effect in the folder. As a result, it becomes more convenient to carry the folder type mobile phone based on the diversity mode, while securing a broader separation distance between two antennas at the same time.

Description

PRIORITY[0001]This application claims priority to an application entitled “Antenna apparatus for folder type mobile phone” filed in the Korean Industrial Property Office on Oct. 29, 2001 and assigned Ser. No. 01-66759, and filed in the Korean Industrial Property Office on May 7, 2002 and assigned Ser. No. 02-24932, the contents of both of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates generally to a folder type mobile phone, and more particularly, to an antenna apparatus for a folder type mobile phone.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Mobile phones have become increasingly developed, aiming for the smaller size, lighter weight, multi functions, and lower power consumption. An antenna, one of essential components of the mobile phone, is a crucial factor for determining speech quality.[0006]A typically used antenna for the mobile phone is a combination of a helical antenna and a whip a...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0010]It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an antenna apparatus for a folder type mobile phone, which is easy to carry and is capable of preventing damage on the antenna.

[0011]Another object of the present invention is to provide an antenna apparatus for a folder type mobile phone, which is capable of securing sufficient separation distance between a main antenna apparatus and a diversity antenna.

Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, when the mobile phone is used for conversation or the mobile phone's radio environment is poor, both the helical antenna and the whip antenna are operational.

One possible drawback of the antenna of the folder type mobile phone is that because the antenna is projected from a designated position of the main body, it is inconvenient to carry around the mobile phone.

In addition, if a user drops the mobile phone, the antenna is easily damaged.

Again, since the antenna is projected from the main body, designing the antenna itself is a difficult task.

Unfortunately, all these problems are enhanced by applying the second diversity antenna to the microphone.

Likewise, it is difficult to secure sufficient separation distance between the main antenna apparatus and the diversity antenna.
